Summary: Beach Bay Cottage exceeded our expectations! The property is beautiful with plenty of space to enjoy lots of outdoor activities. The beach was sandy with a nice, gradual entry and the bay location meant the waters were relatively calm for swimming and paddle sports. The home itself was thoughtfully appointed - we particularly appreciated the ample closet space, lots of hooks for towels, jackets, etc. and plenty of seating both indoors and out. There wasn't a thing we would have changed about our experience. Thank you to our gracious hosts!
